Henry Liddell Mabb (January 24, 1872—December 25, 1960[1]) was a politician, Mountie, and rancher who lived in Manitoba, Canada in the late 19th and early 20th century.
They settled among a community of British expatriates and were congregants at the Chapelle des Tanneurs, which had served as the place of worship for Anglicans (Church of England) in Antwerp since 1821.
Engaging in 300-mile (480 km) treks over the prairies, Mabb's mastery of languages permitted him to develop fluency in Cree and Sioux.
[1] Some newspaper accounts suggest Mabb was involved as a translator in talks between representatives of the Crown and the Lakota leader Sitting Bull.
In addition to working the land as a rancher, Mabb was also employed by the Crown as a homestead inspector in northern Manitoba, between the lakes.
Mabb was elected as an "independent Farmer" candidate, and served with the opposition Independent-Farmer bloc for the next two years.
